I bought FH4 because I live very close to one of the castles there and have visited a handful of other places. It’s genuinely very cool to see those places.

But so many other aspects of the game are really overwhelming. I do a race then there’s crazy flashy animations, multiple progress bars going up in the background with strobe lights, my character doing some stupid Fortnite-like dance, then it makes me do multiple attempts at a slot machine mini game?

I look at the world map and there’s literally thousands of things there, with no option to filter out stuff that you’ve already completed.

Maybe I’m getting old, but it felt like one of those mobile games that goes over the top with praise and animations to keep people’s attention and keep them on a dopamine high.

I want that map, with a story where you start with a shit car, and work your way up to better cars by doing well in races. I don’t want any of the flashy nonsense or the 500 online features (that don’t exist anymore because MS shut down the servers - now it shows constant connection errors)
